Safety Organisations

GASCo
The General Aviation Safety Council is a charity set up to specifically promote safe flying. GASCo runs seminars and produces a quarterly magazine, Flight Safety, to inform and promote safe flying. Learn more from their web site by following this link.
CHIRP
The Confidential Human Incident Reporting Program receives reports from pilots about events that have happened to them, or been witnessed by them. The GA Board then reviews the reports, looks for lessons that can be learnt and then publishes the outcome of their discussions. Reading about someone else's event can be a good way of avoiding it becoming yours in the future. Learn more from their web site by following this link.
AIRPROX BOARD
On the theme of "we can all learn by other's events" the Airprox Board receives reports of close encounters between aircraft and considers whether there has been a risk of collision. The deliberations are published monthly on their web site. Well worth a read. Learn more from their web site by following this link.
AAIB
The Air Accident Investigation Branch of the Department for Transport is tasked with investigating air accidents and incidents. Their reports point at the cause of the events and pilots once again can learn from these. Learn more from their web site by following this link.
ASI
The Airspace & Safety Initiative (ASI) is a joint CAA, NATS, AOA, GA and MoD project to investigate and tackle the major safety risks in UK airspace. The initiative aims to encourage good practice for all pilots, to help reduce airspace incidents such as infringements of controlled airspace. Learn more from their web site by following this link.
